Hi all. I have just bought another r6 5eb 2002. Previous owner said it was making noises so he changed the oil, oil filter, pump and head.... started it up, did a few meters then noise came bk again. Anyone got any suggestions or things to try? Nice looking bike so shame to see it like this. Plz see following link of the bike running. Thank you all! https://youtu.be/1sWXOqfDOWg
Ouch...That sounds rough. Try to see if you can narrow down where the noise is coming. I had to rebuild my water pump over the weekend, and there's a snap ring that holds everything together on the impeller shaft. It popped off when the bike was running and the impeller was rubbing on the water pump housing. I found out that was the issue when I held a screwdriver on the pump and put my ear to the handle. Also, disassembling it made it pretty clear lol. That might be what you have to do, I hope you're somewhat mechanically inclined :/
